I honestly think this has been the GOP plan for some time, actually. Once they realized that Trump was what they were stuck with, they started thinking about who would do the most for them if put in the position, and settled on Pence.

Recommend Pence as VP to Trump, Trump buys it, then impeach Trump a few months to a year into the presidency, put Pence at the helm of the presidency, and then Skeletor and the GOP are kings of the US, free to do what they wish.

No, but it kinda says something about his character. He knows he's pretty invincible, and hasn't found a thing that could do much damage to him at all, so I could totally see him being bored during fights (until he finds someone that can just crush the shit out of him)
